Clyde FC to ground share with Hamilton Accies
The club will play their last game at Broadwood this weekend
Last updated 22nd Apr 2022
Clyde FC has announced their match against Airdrie tomorrow will be their last at Broadwood stadium after confirming a ground sharing deal with Hamilton Accies.
The move comes after the club failed to reach a deal with North Lanarkshire Council for a permanent lease on the stadium where they’ve been playing their home games for 28 seasons.
A statement posted on the club’s website late on Wednesday evening read: “Clyde Football Club will, imminently, be issuing a notice to North Lanarkshire Council terminating its lease at Broadwood. Consequently, the upcoming fixture against Airdrieonians, on the 23rd April, will be our last match at the stadium.
Search for a permanent home continues
“It is widely known that the club had begun developing a proposal to relocate to a stadium of its own.
“Although we had fully expected to continue the process at a pace of our own choosing, North Lanarkshire Council has now confirmed that it will not consider extending the club’s lease at Broadwood on a permanent basis beyond the end of season 2022/23, when the current arrangement was due for renewal.
“The Board is immensely grateful to Hamilton Academical for their co-operation and the efficiency with which this deal is being finalised.
Broadwood highs and lows
“This is a historic moment in the unfolding story of Clyde Football Club and not one without an element of regret. Over 28 seasons, we have experienced many highs and lows at Broadwood.
“Many new fans had their first Clyde experience here and, sadly, many also had their last. All of us will set off from the ground with treasured memories, but also with the assurance that the final destination will be a home which we can truly call our own.”
